Grant & Relocation

The grant and relocation of an Approval Number is governed by the Pharmacy Location Rules.

A pharmacy cannot be relocated or a new pharmacy established without approval from the Australian Community Pharmacy Authority (ACPA). An application to expand or contract must be made to the Department of Health.

In addition to applying to the ACPA or Department of Health, the Pharmacy Council or Board in each State must issue an approval.

The following rules apply:

seven rules for establishing a new pharmacy;

three rules for relocation of an existing pharmacy; and

one rule for expansion or contraction of a pharmacy.

Each rule has its own set of requirements which must be fully satisfied. These rules are very detailed and complete compliance is required.

For more than 5 years, Peter Clinch and his team at Clinch Long Woodbridge, have been an important part of our legal framework. All our experiences have been of the highest quality with prompt action where needed from contracts through to litigious matters. I can highly recommend them both for their diligent and sensible approach to legal work and their knowledge in the Pharmacy industry.

Testimonials

I would like to thank Peter Clinch, who recently assisted me in a complicated dissolution of my partnership. Due to his legal and commercial experience, I was able to have this resolved efficiently and quickly. I would recommend Peter for all commercial matters and will definitely use Peter again.
